    Memorial Day Weekend has come and gone, so we can officially say hello to summer. I couldn't be happier to usher in a season of rooftop soirees, al fresco dining, and pool hangouts. And as a shopping editor, I'm even more excited to weave the latest summer trends and beauty must-haves into my routine. Thankfully, all of my new-season finds can be found under one roof (or should I say site?)—at Nordstrom.

    Style-wise, I'm happily saying goodbye to transitional spring staples like spring jackets and welcoming in a bevy of airy summer styles. Over the next few months, I'll happily be wearing pretty summer dresses, breezy linen pants, and strappy sandals. My beauty cabinet is also getting revamped courtesy of several new sunscreens, a few much-needed self-tanners, and some new light perfumes perfect for the warm weather.

    Below, find everything on my summer wishlist, including the beachy Tom Ford perfume I want to wear all season long, the new Adidas sneakers celebrities are currently obsessing over, and so much more.

    Fashion Picks

    Caslon Drawstring Straight Leg Linen Pants

    Caslon Drawstring Straight Leg Linen Pants (Was $70)
    $50 AT NORDSTROM

    Linen pieces are must-haves in your summer wardrobe because they'll keep you looking and feeling cool, and they also double as stylish bathing suit coverups.

    Jeffrey Campbell Mesh Mary Jane Flat

    Jeffrey Campbell Mesh Mary Jane Flats (Were $145)
    $72 AT NORDSTROM

    Mesh flats make a lot of sense for summer. They make for comfortable walking shoes and are both stylish and breathable—a true fashion multitasker.

    Allington Straw Tote

    AllSaints Allington Straw Tote
    $139 AT NORDSTROM

    A new season calls for a new everyday tote bag. For summer, choose a woven style like this AllSaints one. It's roomy enough to carry all your essentials and doubles as a chic beach bag for the weekend.

    Eyelet Tie Front Cotton Top

    ASTR the Label Eyelet Tie Front Cotton Top
    $69 AT NORDSTROM

    It wouldn't be a summer fashion roundup if I didn't include at least one cotton top. This under-$100 option will amp up your casual outfits with pretty puff sleeves, eyelet embroidery, and a scalloped hem.

    Ayla Baggy Organic Cotton Wide Leg Jeans

    Citizens of Humanity Ayla Baggy Organic Cotton Wide Leg Jeans
    $258 AT NORDSTROM

    When it comes to summer jeans, I have one rule: The baggier the fit, the better. These hit the mark with an ultra-wide leg and cool cuffed hem.

    Alondra Slinback Sandal

    Vionic Alondra Slinback Sandals (Were $130)
    $91 AT NORDSTORM

    $83 AT NORDSTROM

    We're now in swimsuit season, and a black one-piece is about as chic as it gets. This top-rated La Blanca swimsuit has a high leg cut, a scooped neckline, and ruching along the waist for a cute look by the pool.

    Stripe Wide Leg Linen Blend Pants

    Caslon Stripe Wide Leg Linen Blend Pants (Were $59)
    $44 AT NORDSTROM

    In case you need even more linen pants in your rotation this year, here's a striped pair that's just as good as your white option.

    Cotton Voile Button-Up Shirt

    Treasure & Bond Cotton Voile Button-Up Shirt (Was $70)
    $42 AT NORDSTROM

    My infallible summer office outfit formula is a button-down shirt, a ribbed tank, and my favorite pair of jeans. For summer, though, I'm opting for lighter-weight shirts, like this one, to stay cool.

    Nicole Pleated Cotton Maxi Skirt

    WAYF Nicole Pleated Cotton Maxi Skirt
    $89 AT NORDSTROM

    The fashion crowd has been swapping their denim shorts for long cotton skirts. Just imagine how much nicer your cropped T-shirts would look paired with this flowing pick.

    $17 AT NORDSTROM

    In case you didn't know, nail concealer is a thing and it makes for a great, easy, summer nail color. This sheer shade is a pretty option for everyday wear and allows your nails to breathe in between gel manicures.

    Hypnôse Drama Instant Volumizing Mascara

    Lancôme Hypnôse Drama Instant Volumizing Mascara (Was $33)
    $17 AT NORDSTROM

    This cult-favorite volumizing mascara is a whopping 50 percent off just in time to refresh your summer makeup bag. With its uniquely curved brush, one swipe will pump up the volume and lengths of your lashes to new heights.

    Self-Tanning Face Booster Drops

    Clarins Self-Tanning Face Booster Drops (Was $36)
    $31 AT NORDSTROM

    This is the time of year when my body is a shade or two darker than my face. To safely even everything out, I rely on these Clarins tanning drops. I add two or three drops to my nightly moisturizer and wake up to a golden glow.

    Radiant Creamy Concealer

    NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer (Was $32)
    $27 AT NORDSTROM

    While I prefer matte skin for most of the year, I like to switch up my makeup in the summer to lean into my natural glow. When I'm in a rush, I'll dab a touch of this buildable concealer on my dark circles and breakouts to even out my skin tone.

    Gloss+ Semi-Permanent Hair Color & Deep Conditioner

    dpHUE Gloss+ Semi-Permanent Hair Color & Deep Conditioner
    $38 AT NORDSTROM

    Summer is the busiest time of the year, and I can never find the time to visit the salon. Instead, I rely on this hair gloss in between appointments. It gives my color a much-needed boost of vibrancy and leaves my hair feeling silky smooth.

    Replica Sailing Day Eau De Toilette Fragrance

    Maison Margiela Replica Sailing Day Eau De Toilette Fragrance (Was $165)
    $140 AT NORDSTROM

    If your favorite summer memories include time by the ocean, you'll obsess over this fragrance. This summery perfume features unique notes of red seaweed essence and aquatic accord to invoke the feeling of days spent relaxing on a boat.

    Hermès Les Mains Hermès - Nail Enamel

    Hermès Les Mains Hermès Nail Enamel
    $57 AT NORDSTROM

    The Butter Illuminating Tanning Butter

    Tan-Luxe The Butter Illuminating Tanning Butter

    Undaria Algae Body Oil

    OSEA Undaria Algae Body Oil
    $52 AT NORDSTROM

    To enhance your glow, use this cult-favorite body oil right out of the shower. With its blend of seaweed and botanical oils, skin immediately feels softer and, over time, becomes firmer.

    Lip Glow Oil

    DIOR Lip Glow Oil (Was $40)
    $34 AT NORDSTROM

    This lip oil is considered a cult-favorite for a reason. Available in 11 shades, (all of which are on sale, might I add) the internet is obsessed with its pretty glowy finish and hydrating feel.

    Tom Ford Private Blend Soleil Blanc Eau De Parfum (Was $195)
    $166 AT NORDSTROM

    Where Replica Sailing Day is more for every day, this coconut perfume is for all of your special occasions in the summer. A luxurious, beachy blend of ylang-ylang, cardamom, and amber will have all eyes on you.

    Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm

    Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm (Was $69)
    $59 AT NORDSTROM

    I know this is pricey for a cleansing balm, but trust me when I say it lives up to the hype. It easily removes makeup without harsh scrubbing and leaves your skin feeling so soft.

    Superbly Efficient Anti-Perspirant & Deodorant Cream

    Kiehl's Since 1851 Superbly Efficient Anti-Perspirant & Deodorant Cream (Was $25)
    $21 AT NORDSTROM

    This unique cream deodorant will keep you protected from pesky sweat stains. Aside from its sweat-absorbing powers, it won't leave marks on your clothes and leaves hair feeling softer for a better shave.

    Moisturizing Lip Balm

    Prada Moisturizing Lip Balm
    $50 AT NORDSTROM

    Sabrina Carpenter wore this Prada lip balm in her "Please Please Please" music video, so naturally, I'm now dying to try it myself. It adapts to each wearer's pH levels to deliver a unique, natural-looking rosy tint.

    Touche Éclat Awakening Concealer Click Pen
